Overview
- Errol Musk tells CNN the United States would “go down” if white Americans fall below 50% of the population and asks, “You want to go back to the jungle?”
- He rejects widely documented Apartheid-era oppression, claiming whites “gave them work” and saying he “never saw this oppression,” a view challenged on air by CNN’s Donie O’Sullivan.
- The remarks appear in a promotional clip for CNN’s MisinfoNation: White Genocide, which is slated to air Sunday, Nov. 16, at 8 p.m. ET.
- Coverage situates the exchange alongside U.S. Census projections that non-Hispanic whites could drop below half the U.S. population around 2045.
- The interview lands as President Trump’s administration ties claims of Afrikaner persecution to policy, including an announced U.S. boycott of the Nov. 22–23 G20 in Johannesburg, aid restrictions, and refugee prioritization that South African officials dispute; recent New York Times reporting detailed abuse allegations against Errol Musk, which he denies.
